"Hey! Why haven't you come back yet? Fortunately, we prepared dinner for you to eat when you come back, but it turned out to be cold! Where are you now?"

On the phone, Yuan Shan and Ye said angrily.

"We are outside the house of Mrs. Zhujiao who commissioned us to investigate." Hattori Heiji explained.

"what?"

"what?"

Yuan Shan and Ye dissatisfied: "Didn't you say that the business over there has been finished and you are on your way home now?"

"Yeah, we thought so too, but we ran into a fire truck on the way home...and after we got back, Zhujiao's house was already in flames!"

"what?"

After hanging up the phone, several people looked up at the fire scene, the flames in their eyes kept beating, and the surrounding temperature also increased.

"what!"

"Liangzi, Liangzi..." At this moment, a man's cry suddenly came from the car transporting the corpse, Feng Yuan looked up, and that man was Zhu Jiaoming, the male master of Zhujiao's family.

"Depending on the situation, that lady has no time to escape!" Uncle Mao Li said in a low voice after seeing this scene.

"Damn! If we continue to stay here and monitor, this kind of thing will not happen now!"

"But don't you find it strange?" Kudo Shinichi also walked over with his hands in his pockets at this time:
"Didn't those two people go out to drink? It's obviously less than an hour, why did they come back so soon?"

"That's right!" Hattori Heiji was also in deep thought.

"What's so strange about this, don't you guys have mobile phones?"

Feng Yuan looked at the two of them and asked: "As long as they have neighbors they know to call their mobile phones, this matter can be easily explained."

"Look, mom, I'm right, the red horse that can cause fire is coming!"

At this time, a little boy who was younger than Conan said to his mother.

The faces of Fengyuan and the others moved slightly, and then they walked to the mother and son together.

"Little friend, how do you know that the red horse has been here?" Hattori Heiji walked up to them and squatted down, looking at the little boy with a smile and asked.

"Because I saw it with my own eyes!" the boy replied.

"When is it? Where is it?" Kudo Shinichi also asked eagerly.

"Who are you guys?" The woman looked at these strange men with some doubts.

"The few of us are detectives, because arsonists have been rampant recently, so we want to investigate clearly, so that the people in the capital can live with peace of mind."

Looking at the vigilant woman, Feng Yuan stepped forward and said, "This is Kudo Shinichi who is known as Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era, and then there is the sleeping famous detective Mori Kogoro."

"And the next one is Hattori Heiji, a high school student detective from Osaka, and I am also a high school student detective myself."

"So, wondering if we could ask your kids a few questions?"

"Can……"

The woman stared at them in a daze. Before, he felt that Mori and Kudou looked familiar. After being reminded, she quickly matched the number, and the words were also very enthusiastic.

"If you have any questions, just ask my son, he will tell you all."

"Thank you!"

Feng Yuan smiled and thanked:

"Kid, have you really seen the red horse?"

"I'm not lying."

The boy nodded: "However, I only see the shadow of the horse."

"shadow?"

"Ok!"

"That's what I saw in the living room when I was watching the Masked Swordsman show!" The boy recalled:

"When I was about to start singing the theme song of Masked Swordsman, the outside suddenly became brighter. I looked out the window, but I was startled and jumped."

"There is a shadow of such a big horse appearing on the curtains of my house!" The boy opened his arms, trying to express the size of the horse as much as possible.

"Ma'am, I wonder if we can go to your house and have a look?"

Seeing the expressions of Kudou and Hattori, Fengyuan knew that the two wanted to sneak in again, so he pulled them back and said to the woman.

"of course can!"

The woman nodded cheerfully: "But now there is also a fire over there!"

"It's okay, let's go and have a look by ourselves." Feng Yuan smiled, then jumped over the wall and jumped into this courtyard.

Several people ran to the window that was still emitting flames, only to see a statue of a red horse happened to be sandwiched between the gaps in the window.

"It seems that the kid was watching TV in this room at that time." Feng Yuan said after seeing it.

"It shouldn't be wrong. The shadow of the horse is reflected on this curtain." Kudo Shinichi also nodded in thought:

"The masked swordsman played at [-]:[-] in the evening, and when the theme song started to be sung, there was a light, and then I saw a shadow."

"This means that the arsonist put the horse in the window crack after [-]:[-] after lighting the fire." Looking at the raging flames in front of him, Hattori Heiji reasoned indifferently.

"That's right, that guy was staying by this window during that time." Kudo and Hattori quickly reached a consensus.

Fengyuan expressed some doubts about this, but unfortunately there is no more evidence now, so they can only retreat outside for the time being.

At this moment, in a corner of the crowd, a short man was looking at the fire scene and breathing heavily, his eyes still full of fear.

Two hours later, the fire was extinguished.

"Mr. Police, please, let us go into the fire scene and have a look!"

Several people stood in front of the sealed ruins and begged the guarding police.

"No, no." The policeman waved his hand.

"Then at least tell us where the fire started?" Kudo Shinichi also asked.

"No! Even if it's the request of famous detectives Kudo Shinichi and Mori Kogoro, we still have to follow the rules!"

"Hey hey..."

At this time, a big man with a suit and a cigarette in his mouth suddenly came up behind them:
"It's not the scene of the fire, it's your investigative business!"

"what?"

Mao Li turned around and was shocked: "You are the fire daddy of the first lesson!"

"Maori! How can you call your former boss Daddy Huo?" Gongchang Police Department looked at Mouri Kogoro with a light smile.

"The former boss?" Hattori looked at the police department of Yumicho suspiciously.

"He's the Chief Police Department of the Metropolitan Police Department's Investigative Section [-] and Fire and Crime Investigation Section [-]," Mao Li introduced.

"Didn't your previous job be to investigate active criminals?" Hattori asked.

Maori: "That's because I was in the Fire Crime Unit for a while before!"

"Oh, you caused me a lot of trouble back then." Gong Chang said with a smile.

"what?"

Maori looked at the other side in a daze.

"After the fire broke out, you concluded that it was an arsonist who rushed to the scene. The evidence at the scene was messed up, so I was warned several times by the fire department."

The Gongchang police department approached Mao Li and gritted his teeth: "Is it like this?"

Mori Kogoro's eyelids twitched, and his heart was full of slander, "Actually, you are too..."

"However, this time the fire, I'm sure it was an arson case. The specific statue of the red horse was also found at the scene of the fire."

"After investigation by the forensics unit, it is very consistent with the conditions of the three previous fires."

"But, Mr. Gongchang. Could it be that after learning about the red horse in the newspapers, they imitated the crime in the same way?" Mori Kogoro asked.

"Fool! How can you make the exact same statue just by looking at the photos in the newspaper?" Gongchang Police Department looked at Mao Li like an idiot and said:
"The plastic horse is made from the same mold. If it's not a commercial product, then the suspect thought the red horse looked good and produced it himself."

"It's really enjoyable to challenge the police in this way, but in the end, people are killed. This is not a joke!"

"Where is the fire?" Hattori Heiji asked.

"What does this handsome guy do? Is he your assistant?" Gongchang Police Department looked at Mori Kogoro and asked.

"Yes... count it!"

Maori scratched his head in embarrassment.

"The place where the fire started was in a small room on the right side of the house, with the storage door next to the window of the red horse plugged in, because there were traces of lamp oil spilled on the floor."

"The lamp oil was probably poured in from the open window outside, and then the house was set on fire, right?" Gong Zhang introduced for several people.
